A new United Nations report found the presence of large numbers of sophisticated weapons as well as foreign fighters, including Russian soldiers, have led to a worsening of the human rights situation in eastern Ukraine.

The report issued by the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said serious human rights violations persist in eastern Ukraine despite a tenuous cease-fire between the government and rebels.

So what a surprise that the science fiction writer and the Russian thugs (the Shooter??) who invaded government buildings, kidnapped citizens, paraded Ukraine soildiers through the streets like trophies, beat a 50 year old woman on a stret corner because she declared herself to be a member of her own country--these people are violating human rights? It's as if a xenophobic, criminal mob from a neighboring country armed itself and took over these cities. When they murdered those airline passengers they violated human rights in the most flagrant way possible--and they don't have the courage to admit their mistake, if it was, and punish those accountable. Then, when things don't go their way, these cowards oppress the very people they claim to represen, or, like this pompous buffoon "the shooter" they run away to their criminal sanctuary--Russia. Just like with Serbia, there will someday be an accounting for what they have done.

It is absurd to suggest that the whole Western world has gotten together to falsely report the situation in Ukraine. It is far more likely that your "friends" in Ukraine are the ones that are lying especially if they speak Russian.

First of all, we have to make clear how many members of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights are citizens of Western countries and their allies. Then we will have to decide if we can totally count on the report of not. My friends who are living in Ukraine have told me the completely opposite stories about Ukraine. Do you know when a politician tells? Whenever he moves his lips!
